The NI LabVIEW(Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering
Workbench) Academy is a tailored version of an Internationally
recognized curriculum created byNational Instruments (NI) .This
academy was initiated by signing
MOU
with National Instruments inAugust 3rd 2011and Purchase of software and related hardware as per
the academy requirements. The sufficient workspace, requirements and support
have been provided by the Management.

The LabVIEW Academy set up at PEC by National Instruments is an
initiative under their Planet NI (Nurturing Innovation) framework which strives
to increase the employability of Indian engineering graduates by creating Centres
of Excellence in engineering colleges which will provide cost effective access
to world class latest technology for classroom teaching-learning. To make
better engineers the LabVIEW Academy follows the concept of Experiential
Education using Graphical system design approach. With a mission to educate
students and to discover and disseminate knowledge through research, Prathyusha Engineering College
is leading the way towards producing world class engineers tuned to the demands
of a fast changing global village . The Academy includes some of the powerful toolslike, LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual
Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) and state-of-art Educational Laboratory
Virtual Instrumentation Suite (ELVIS)integrated
with other hardware/ software to train/ teach on providing customized solutions
to industries in various specialized areas related to Test, Measurement &
Control....

Awards
and Achievements

·Best
LabVIEW academy award 2011

·More
than 1000 students from ECE ,EEE,CSE ,IT and Mechanical department have been
trained in LabVIEW .

Traditional hardware
instrumentation systems are made up of pre-defined hardware components, such as
digital multimeters and oscilloscopes that are completely specific to their
stimulus, analysis, or measurement function. Because of their hard-coded
function, these systems are more limited in their versatility than virtual
instrumentation systems. The primary difference between hardware instrumentation
and virtual instrumentation is that software is used to replace a large amount
of hardware. The software enables complex and expensive hardware to be replaced
by already purchased computer hardware; e. g. analog-to-digital converter can
act as a hardware complement of a virtual oscilloscope, Designing and testing
increasingly complex products to meet tight time-to-market demands requires a
highly efficient, tightly integrated platform. The LabVIEW system design
platform for test, control, and embedded design spans the entire product design
cycle, dramatically increasing efficiency and improving the bottom line.
